February 28, 2013 08:48:20 GMT

The Huntress threatens to destroy everything and everyone he cares about, but Oliver says he can't kill her.

When "Arrow" returns with new episode in the next few weeks, Oliver is as happy as he's been since returning to Starling City with his nightclub, Verdan, set to open and a new romance brewing with McKenna. He and Tommy are also thrilled that they were able to get Steve Aoki to play at the opening of their new nightclub.

However, that won't last long since someone from his past unexpectedly returns to the town. His "psycho" ex, The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), suddenly returns to town, threatening to destroy everything and everyone he cares about. She wants him to admit he still has feelings for her, but he tells her to leave the city. When there's no other way to stop her except death, Oliver is faced with a tough decision as he claims he can't kill her.

Meanwhile, Laurel and her father struggle with the return of Dinah Lance (guest star Alex Kingston) who claims she has proof Sara is still alive. Thea Roy Harper (guest star Colton Haynes) a job at Oliver's club, but he's not too inclined to stop his life of crime.

Aptly titled "The Huntress Returns", the new episode will air Wednesday, March 20 at 8/7c on The CW. The show is on hiatus after airing "Dead to Rights" which featured [SPOILER ALERT!] Oliver revealing his alter ego to his friend Tommy.
